2020 - The Year of Lilith, Greenland's End & The Perseus Protocols

Come ride with me
Through the veins of history
I'll show you a God,
Falls asleep on the job
And how can we win 
When fools can be kings
Don't waste your time
Or time will waste you

GREENLAND'S END

China carbon neutral by 2060Not good enough.  Carbon capture an essential part of facing climate change (i.e. planting tree just isn't going to cut it by itself).  Close but no cigar.  Kids climate striking in the middle of a pandemic.  Hardly terrorism... - and no worse spread of lilifluenza than we get in any other riot protest or, for that matter, in the all the schools that are open around the world right now.  One of my grander predictions, that ''they'' would actually directly tell the world that we had passed too many tipping points and gone too far and that climate engineering was inevitable, did not come to pass.  Although we were very close.  The Green Phase has otherwise played out in exactly the way we arrived at - a drawing of focus to green issues elegantly semiotically tied to the concept of Green Zones in the pandemic, a ''de-greening'' phase of stacked water-themed environmental disasters and other weirdness and a spectacular finale of apocalyptic lightning fires of the world's fifth largest economy with pledges of Green Recovery, Carbon Neutrality and Building Back Better all round. We got our ''aliens'' in the form of ''Life on Venus'' and we even finally, finally this time, solved the murder of the elephants - this detective case running throughout the whole of the phase for those with eyes to see.



If it seems weird to know this it's only because I've unfortunately seen the script of that accursed play ''The King in Yellow'' (or at least the scene list and a hazy outline of the scene description) - and anyone can look, the difficult bit, as with most things Lovecraftian is staying sane while doing so.  We can clearly see the broad terrain of the Yellow Phase, as its been heavily signalled and detailed so we are in the position of knowing roughly what will happen in the closing quarter of the Year of Lilith (although I am sure it will both surprise us and let us down at points as the Green Phase did).  We can even begin to see the edge of the anti-Mauve Zone (my little joke I mean the Qlipha of Yesod) with Japan's announcement of successful trials of UV-C.  If in 2018 (The Year of Yesod) I would have told you that by 2021 (The Qlipha of Yesod) all of our breathable air in confined spaces like malls and trams would be filtered through UV radiation sterilizing it for safety you rightfully would have thought I had lost the plot.  What else would necessitate putting UV lights everywhere?

PLAUSIBLE CONSPIRACIES



Although what we are espousing here is strange in and of itself, if the scientist in me was asked to name the two greatest threats to civilization over the next decade they would be climate change and biological terrorism.  Yellowcake may well come up in the Yellow Phase but Nuclear War is very 20th century; although the chance of nuclear weaponry falling into the hands of terrorists is a real concern, state players on this scene have to go through a very long process of building up the academic potential and then the industrial potential to even start their own nuclear weapons project.  Its worth speculating on biological terrorism and the environmental crisis as slightly more ''adult'' starter conspiracies if you are trying to wean people off Q-anonsense.  As I said above what I believe is weirder than these two but I think they are useful gateways towards getting a broader appreciation of what is going on - what might be happening is that a strange heresiarchial cult of power is trying to navigate those two threats in the way that a strange heresiarchial cult would.


BIOLOGICAL TERRORISM


''We don't need to weaponise the flu, the birds are doing that already'' Laurence Fishburne's CDC character informs the government when asked in the film Contagion - now while that line being a lie as we definitely are weaponizing the flu (''gain of function'') it is true in that microbial pathogens are constantly adapting to our attempts to exterminate them.  Coronavirus is nowhere near the threat that multi-drug resistant bacteria will be in our very near future.  With anti-biotics nearing the end of their shelf-life we could argue that a planet-wide biological security infrastructure was necessary with that justification alone.  The fact that the technology to manufacture deadly tailored pathogens is now far cheaper than generating yellowcake and that China, Europe and America have all pissed off two groups a) radical Islamic terrorists and b) rich radical Islamic patrons - probably started a lot of terrifying panicked conversations in various Departments of Defence.  Biological attack of a variety of forms throughout the 20s is almost certainly guaranteed and you can think of what we are building now as a kind of Civilian Defence Infrastructure in the same way we had fallout bunkers, etc during the threat of nuclear war.  I am not saying this is the case but it is a more plausible and reasonable justification than a lot of the pre-School conspiracy thinking on this.  Because when it does happen, and it will, we will be very very glad of having all that UV equipment, mask policies, control of information, industrial experience of rapid vaccine construction and distribution, etc etc etc in place.  In that way, what we are experiencing, including the ''info-war'' part could be a drill

ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS




As I have repeatedly pointed out on the Hermetic Lessons, the environmental catastrophe is more than enough of a reason for these adjustments to society that are taking place without need for any other.  Look at the total world's concentrated death energy fossil fuel consumption in the years since Greta has been alive this is true and make a ratio with the rest of our historical production and you will reach a scary realisation that we are undeniably seeing the consequences of.  Mass civilian aviation pumps greenhouse gases right into the stratosphere, sometimes that happens just to fly an avocado across the Atlantic not a human.  Let's all admit that that is moronically decadent. The fact that we are being led by an socially engineered child on this front is a searing indictment of the childish and banal nature of the majority of adults living today.  You don't even need climate change to justify tidying up the god awful mess we have made of this planet.  Open caste mining; oil slicks coating lush tropical islands; acidic rain; air pollution; lung disease; it's all extremely grim.  How much of the world has to be on fire for people to stop saying ''this is natural''?  Not ruling out the use of weather weapons by state actors or extraplanetary influence or even Revelations but again split the difference. We would need to react and build infrastructure.  The alternative is to sink beneath the waves.


PERSEUS PROTOCOLS

We find ourselves in very dangerous and difficult times and I wanted to reassure my more spiritually leaning readers that I have not become only an armchair conspiracy theorist howling at the Moon during this long journey.  Practical work, utilizing a variety of different approaches began before lilifluenza hit the western world and has matured throughout the pandemic.  With that in mind I would like to invite you to enjoy the Perseus Protocols which will be a page dedicated to recounting parts of that journey and also inviting others to join us and share our practice.  We arrived at Perseus as a figure we could rally around, I hope you can share the same experience.



Sometimes change is good and sometimes change is bad.  You are not the person you were ten years ago, and by extension you are not the same person you were ten seconds ago.  The sense of self flows through us and as the vessel changes with time so does the shape of the ruach, the breath-wind - some people change less being made of different stone, some change smoothly and readily.  There is a difference between natural change, the gracefully eroded face of a mighty cliff, beit sandstone or granite, and forced change, where an outside agency is undermining your behaviour, assaulting your logic, demolishing your core and shaping that cliff into part of its own monolithic face.  Maybe this is necessary, maybe individuality is too expensive on a planetary scale, at least as individuality was imagined in the American Dream - I could be convinced - but either way it did not have to be quite so brutal if education had not been purposefully starved and the doom clock allowed to run to its last grains of sand.  Our challenge now, as soldiers, is to stand firm and shield in the face of all of this psychic assault.  You are defending Reason itself, if everything else passes in the next decade and you still have Reason you've won.  Even if you only have one point left.  Make a phalanx where you can, these demons are large, or stand alone with perfect courage. Give ground if necessary, but like Socrates, if you retreat, retreat in good order to a better position.  Regenerate your reason at the Perseus Protocols.

No-one's going to take me alive
Time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive
No-one's going to take me alive
Time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive

  1. I hope you'll still post new articles on a regular basis *here*, because I (and I assume many others) have personally "already taken care" of the spiritual aspects of our lives, it's *your* kaballistic colour-coded theory and it's greater implications that we're interested in.

    And I still think everything they've done, everything that is happening *only* makes sense if there is sudden mass depopulation coming soon. Whether it is an ELE, whether it is a new bio-weapon passed off as "Covid-19 version 2.0", *billions* must die for the Elite's plans and preparations to work out.

    1. Hi JB - no stress, my colleagues are running/managing the other blog and they'll be a multitude of voices/writers on there but I will share my reflections on practical work there precisely because this blog has mainly turned into an interpretation of the Unifying Colour Theory for the time being and my practical work is currently based in a team format not solo work. The Hermetic Lessons and its prior incarnations have been running for a lot longer than the Unifying Colour Theory and I just wanted to reassure my former readers that my work remains very much practical, its just evolved during the pandemia. Any who are interested in connecting, doing some basic practical work and sharing comradeship are welcome. Hopefully we can all argue to agree there and try and bring Green and Yellow Spirits together.

      I appreciate that many people have all that spiritual angle figured out but many don't have or are growing up in a time where it is not so easy to find those things and/or be very easily distracted... so my colleagues and I wanted to assure them of a space and a squad. Especially those of us who are very isolated either actually physically isolated or socially isolated in the sense of not having anyone who shares those esoteric interests. I've been in that situation before in the past and a public internet study/practice group was invaluable as well as making a huge contribution to my scholarship. When I was younger I also had various generous esoteric mentors who afforded me their time and other forms of support. Obviously I'm still learning, as we all are, but I've also reached a stage where I certainly want to pass various traditions along now. As well as renewing/regenerating core work.

      Mass population reduction is a stated aim its just how it pans out and over what time frame. Again I am open to persuasion but not coercion on this point. If I hadn't of watched Zod-like ELE exhortations before and after 2012 I'd flinch more on things like magnetic field flips and such. As it is I don't.

      What I actually think is fundamentally way loopier than Zod though and I do think it is going to get more surreal before it gets more deadly.

      In terms of who owns the theory obviously I developed it from an observation of Chris's but I am not the only one who can interpret/mis-interpret now. As far as I concerned its open source.

    2. No, no, you need to patent/copyright this s**t. Print posters, sell t-shirts, maybe a streaming webseries. There's *so much* money to be made from spirituality! ;)

      Delete
    3. I have enough money and I am old school so Hermetic Lessons will not be a ticketed event or a subscription or anything like that. The monetization of my sphere basically crushed what was a fairly open space at that moment where I could see my peers *work*, discuss, argue and otherwise share ideas which made me sad. Well the monetization/privatisation *and* the incredible dumbing/chat/populist/Skinner effects of FB and social media.

      What am I selling anyway at the moment? It's pretty depressing. I'll pay to laugh but I won't pay to cry!

      If you want to use this approach to make your own predictions, go for it, I'd just err towards the plausible as opposed to the less plausible and where it is less plausible say so - like I did with Yellowstone or an Alien invasion.

      With the ELE stuff again, its something that pipes up every so often. You can find evidence of elite shenanigans with deep storing and building underground bases pretty much any time over the last 50 years. In ELE world there is always an asteroid about to hit us or give us a near miss it seems. There are always (before 2020) articles about magnetic field jiggery-pokery. The problem is getting excited about it, panicking, moving all your shit to the mountains and then getting let down again and again. Its enough to make a black spirit red. An near-ELE type event is guaranteed at some point in a our future, if climate change isn't one of those in its own right. I keep my eye on it but its less plausible. For instance we could argue that in 2029 DUAL SPLIT means the Earth cracks in two but I think it is more plausible that this is when the first official human cloning takes place.

    4. Oh, I was kidding about the money, it was a bad idea for the proverbial "Merchants of the Temple", it was a mistake for Goro Adachi over at Etemenanki...

      As for the ELE, we'll see. It *would* "simplify" things, permanently. And hasn't human cloning been a reality for decades now? Would it really matter if it was made public?

      Delete
    5. A lot of the social engineering we are being pushed through at hyperspeed is to adjust us to the new technological reality, I think. With everything else we've been seeing on ''twinning'' this seems to be an entirely plausible outcome for the whole Doppelganger aspect of this operation.

      A big problem with the medical advances that have already been made is the social implications of rolling them out as its basically the speciation of humans. I commented on this to a makeup designer I was working with and she said the rich have basically already speciated with cosmetic surgery. Look at the difference between a ''natural human'' and one that is already using the anti-aging tech that has been legalized/normalized. In that sense does it matter? Its already happened we already know some ''important pawns'' have ''secret clones'' of a form. But it matters in that it will happen more and in a much more in-your-face way and the difference in public longevity of the hyper-rich will be 50+ years rather than 10+. A bit of population reduction here and there could help that be more ''widely available'' as I would definitely think twice before rolling out 50+ years for *all* humans. I am not saying its not corrupted, I am not saying these elite deserve the extra years, I am just saying I wouldn't immediately go and roll this out for everyone (including everyone in the elite). In that same way I wouldn't immediately give everyone a nuclear weapon or free energy.

      Digital is a form of immortality as Robert De Niro can now be in films for a thousand years but this will be ''a husk'' of De Niro as opposed to the original endlessly renewed. This is where nanotech has to eventually come in to the game to create a ''true'' immortality. It'll have to be something to do with nanoteching the telomeres.

      I don't need to believe in ELEs I know they happen from the records. But belief in them as a through-line does take otherwise useful investigators out of the main game, that's why I mainly see them as tools of the enemy. I had the fortune (?) to encounter an old operative who used to make dis-info shit up for a job back in the 70s/80s so you have to go into any theory thinking that it's bollocks from the getgo and then determine its plausibility. Maybe the same is true of this theory, I just don't know yet. Although from his POV the occult were both using the stuff and spreading misinfo about it - remember the G.D. Kircher Tree is supposed to contain ''blinds''.

      The attraction of this theory to me is that such a Thelemic or Shabbataen cult would use this kind of approach if they were going to try and unify endeavours across multiple fronts. In fact I can't see any other way to do it. Numbers obviously, the 33s, the 17s, etc, but they are nowhere near as clear or utile as colour.

    2. Hi Blogos!
      I am so exited about your reply, I was jumping up and down, and I don't do that so often! He,he.

      Yes, I see the Northern Lights very often, they are like buddies of mine, you know. I didn't see anything that seemed weird, but when it is so normal, you kinda don't notice, I think. I will talk to some people and hear what they have to say and get back to you. :)

      Greetings from the north, north where Njaal will be a Northern light detective.

    3. Hello again Blogos!

      This is Njaal. I did a little detective work and spoke to one of my mates. He's a hunter (I love animals too much to join in}, anyway, he told me that while he and some others were on a hunting expedition last year in the North of Sweden, they saw really strange Northern lights, they were horizontal instead of vertical and wavy, like a sand dune. None of us had ever seen that before, so I looked it up and it's a completely new phenomenon. I think you were asking about now, but just wanted to mention it. Hehe.

      But I have to say that the last few days have been crazy, looking out of my window now, I can see the dancing Northern lights, my buddies. I don't think I can remember it being this crazy. Reading the news today, they said that it will last until tomorrow and then it won't be like this for another 2 years or so. It's because of a geomagnetic storm happening at the moment. When they leave here, I read that they are headed for Canada and the US and that you could see them as far south as Denmark!:o

      I would take a picture, but my phone is shit.

  3. Well, my dreaming state is more populated and weird than before, and that it's saying a lot, because my dream "gift" was activated after my first period at 13yo, and that day I had the most weird and significant dream of my life, as I was thrown from my bed to the pit of fire (an unseen force got me by the neck), until I cried for help, and then I levitated up (laying flat) to my bed, and noticed a white poster with a colored "tree" in it, then woke up in the same position. The system we have built will fall, they are trying their "controlled demolition" but I don't know if it will work.

    As for the other page, I'll take a look. Thanks Blogos

    1. Do you think that coloured tree you saw was the one on the site? Evidence of temporal entanglement with this moment?

      Delete
    2. Maybe, but more like when I was being deposited on my bed, I saw it in the wall just above my headrest, like the path of my life or something like that, or the signature of the being that rescued me, the one who answered my cry for help. From then on I'm able to cross doors and passages when dreaming, the only issue it's the population on those landscapes, if I can say it that way.

      Delete
    3. Oh, and as I was laying down, I only saw the poster vaguely, but I can say that it was white, the tree was kind of like a diagram but not exactly like the tree of life, similar yes. (The colors were well defined and separated one from another)

      Delete
    4. Well Jacob's Ladder is a kind of extension of the ToL and it grants you access to the inner (higher) worlds like Yetzirah and beyond. Its a key in itself but not a ''pass'. For the passes you need the ''names'' of the entities. You can also ''move'' in Yetzirah via ''wording''. You move by ''similarity'' and ''disimilarity'', a kind of attunement. You don't move, persay, ''it''' moves to you. Anyway. So you can get on to the plane, but the astral population gives you trouble? Like kicking you out? Or giving you other forms of grief?

      I ''remembered'' (received) basically everything I know from a ToL diagram I called the Rivers of Time which was a memory palace created by a former incarnation, I believe, that contained amongst other things knowledge of a kind of Qabalistic physiognomy. This happened around 15 but I'd been working with tarot and some other ''triggers'' before that. I had to ''decode'' it a bit and it was very much enhanced by studying biochem - but the reason I mention it is because something like this may have happened to you?

    6. Maybe, the beings I see are pretty diverse, some are very hostile, some are into their own business, and some are like politics in their "planes/places/dimensions".... I must cover my feet while traveling, because if they are uncovered they are white and shine a lot, and they don't seem to like this. I never answered any call in my life, but since a little girl I loved esoteric covers I saw at the kiosks... I have affinity with cards, crystals, and dreams, but I haven't exercised these things because deep inside I feel that if I answer the call I may be thrown into something I could not control, so I mostly read and hear a lot and reach my own conclusions just to avoid danger for me and my family. I come from a french masonic family background, but my father didn't want to join and continue that path. I'm an artist and very into philosophy/poetry/sociology/arqueology, and math and physics are like my nemesis.... But I'm good at biology, so idk about what to say about my background that could help anyone, but my gut never fails me with people.

      Delete
    7. And also, depending on my state of mind I can speak or not in the dreaming, but when I feel the love in my life and I'm in a guilty free state, I can defend myself really well, even preventing some beings to cross to my side of the portals, but idk where to find more reliable info about these events, in the net it's not very easy to find good info....

      Regarding the terrorism accusations I agree that it could be right wing think tanks trying to promote any reason other than climate change for what is happening, score political points and Yellow Spirits lapping that shit up.
      On the other hand if I had been an Islamic Terrorist back in post 9/11 starting fires like this would have been a great way to attack America. Like making ricin and putting it on metros. The fact that all they could manage in the UK was driving cars into defensive architecture and get taken out by a polish chap wielding narwhaal tusks (reminiscent of that pissed off ''polish accountant'' character from TP: The Return...) and failing to kill Ariana Grande proved to me that they either a) completely lacked imagination or training or b) didn't really exist in any significant way. Although I am sure if they are real that Depts of Defence are scared that they will at some point change their ways and ''level up.''

      Feel free to chip in with your own predictions in the future though if you are getting into the swing of it. I am happy for other people to develop this theory. This is one mountain I *do not* want to be King of! :-)

    2. thanks, but not sure what's for dinner let alone tomorrow :)

      Lillith is what brought my attention to this blog. She is my rising heliacal. As such I have looked into her via my astronomically minded friends, here's a bit about what they say and I remember:

      ALGOL - THE HEAD OF THE BEASt is the star that has been walking the path of the underworld and has now emerged to be visible in the world of humans. Algol was called Ras al Ghul by the Arabs, which means the Head of the Demon, and they considered this female demon to be the wife of the Devil. Ptolemy labelled the star as 'the bright one of those in the Gorgon's head'. The Chinese called the star Tseih She meaning Piled-up Corpses. In Talmudic Law she is the first wife of Adam, Lilith, who left him because she refused to be submissive to his needs.
      Lilith then fled Paradise and became a demon of the wind. She was considered a curse, as she contained sexual pleasure and was the cause of all male wet dreams. The resulting impact in the Jewish, Moslem and Christian cultures was the suppression of all male sexual pleasure, which then led to the oppression of the sexual woman. Algol thus embodied everything that men feared in the feminine. She is not the mother face of the goddess but rather the passionate lover or the whore. She is female kundalini energy. Algol is the wild, raw, frightening face of the outraged feminine, which has been labelled as demonic or simply as evil. This star contains immense female passion and power. It is the power of the feminine, or the potential power of Mother Nature, strong but not to be called evil. This star represents a strong consuming passion, which may devour you with anger and rage. If one can contain a conscious or unconscious compulsion to take revenge, and focus that
      passion into a more productive outcome, Algol is one of the most powerful stars in the sky.

      Regards,

    3. Yes, this, I asked Austin Coppock months ago if there was anything weird going on with Lilith/Algol but he said no, this year is all about Hades. Now you remind me I think I will take another look at this part of the mystery.

  6. Some people are about to be made to look very dumb indeed, dumber than they already looked:

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/sep/24/coronavirus-mutate-contagious-study-us-cases

    Regarding the CDC flip-flopping on the virus being airborne bear in mind even without conspiracy to conceal info they find out things and then behavioural scientists decide how that information is rolled out. They were very transparent on this use of ''behavioural science'' when it came to making decisions for the UK.

    Therefore the truth about other aspects of the virus - like perhaps its long term fatigue effects, or its effect on reproductive health - we may have more details already but you won't know until they think its ''right'' for us to know. Referring to the previous post - the virus is meant to be transmissible and severe (shoot to maim) - not lethal.

  7. Speaking of things green, I find it very, very ironic that the american political plan for countering climate change is named "The GREEN New Deal". That's because the surest way to insure that the Earth will be much greener in the long term future will actually be to let global warming go amok. The melting of the polar ice caps will free much more water in the atmosphere, and CO2 is literally food for the plants.
    And the Earth was in such situations in its past history, for example in the Cretaceous Period when there was no ice at the poles, no huge deserts like the present day Sahara, and dinosaurs roamed through jungles in Antarctica:

    https://www.bbcearth.com/blog/?article=when-dinosaurs-roamed-antarctica

    And life thrived in that Hothouse Earth typical for the Cretaceous Period.
    Such a change, if it takes place rapidly in geological chronological terms, will surely kill a lot of animals and plants, maybe even most of them, in the short and medium terms. And it also can wipe out human civilization, but Mother Gaia herself, as the greeks well knew, is a tough and resilient b*tch. She, and the life she gives birth to, always recovered after every mass extinction in her previous history.

  8. And the GREENING of the planet is already happening, at least in some (until now) arid parts of it:

    https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590332220301007

    "Despite intense human land use, the Sahel has been re-greening in recent decades as precipitation has recovered from the dry period of the 1970s and 1980s. Whether vegetation expands further into the Sahel and Sahara depends in part on the complex interplay among vegetation, climate, and environmental changes.[...] A crucial factor beyond precipitation changes is the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2): elevated CO2 concentrations from unabated anthropogenic emissions could, in water-limited situations, directly promote vegetation growth and contribute to greening of arid to semiarid landscapes. Under a “high-emission” scenario (i.e., business as usual), by the end of the century CO2 levels will reach values last seen 50 million years before present (BP; >1,000 ppm), a period of climate warmth and a green northern tropical Africa."

    1. The Greening is not happening in the developed world unfortunately and I think the Burning Ruins will be in places where there are cities. But it could mean something else for sure.

      I'd ask whether the Greening is happening at a rate that can survive runaway climate change.

    2. "I'd ask whether the Greening is happening at a rate that can survive runaway climate change."

      I actually think that a "wild/feral" sort of Greening will be an integral part of runaway climate change, not just a byproduct. For some suggestive imagery, even if somewhat exaggerated, you can think of the aggressive/killer lifeforms(mainly vegetal in nature) from the "Swamp Thing".

      By the way, a jungle can be frequently an even more hostile environment to humans than a desert. In a desert there are a few things that can kill you(lack of water, scorching sun, occasionally a scorpion or a snake hidden under a rock etc.) but a jungle frequently contains a myriad of things and critters potentially lethal.

      And I think that some changes in respect to this "feral" process of Greening are already visible for some time now. I live in a medium sized city in Eastern Europe and in the relatively recent past we had a few years with somewhat unusually higher rainfall in summertime - and practically each time it happened you could had seen weeds "popping up" in all sorts of unusual places. And from what I have been told by friends more knowledgeable in the field, there were visible also minor(yet) changes in the local fauna, mainly concerning insects and birds(e.g. a strange epidemic that nearly wiped out a local species of birds), but also even mammals(e.g. golden jackals were a part of the fauna in an adjacent area for centuries, although in small numbers, but in recent years they seem to have been proliferating). And just think a little what would mean if these sort of changes will become even more profound in the near future(e.g. swarms of killer bees coming from Africa, total disruption of the migratory patterns of some birds, the appearence of some new, for the specific area, species of birds and mammals that could also carry diseases that are novel for the local human population etc.). And these potential(yet) changes in the local fauna will be actually an integral part of "greening" run amok, in my opinion.

      P.S. Incidentally, I think that the "Swamp Thing" series could be an interesting subject for analysis on your blog or on the "Secret Sun", because there is something unusual not only in the artistic material itself, but also in the strange way the show was abruptly canceled last year. The show had very positive feedback from the viewers and ratings but, nevertheless, was very weirdly terminated. And what is much more weird is the fact that we are talking about a show that ran in 2019 and had as a main character a woman working for the CDC(!) in the attempt to contain an epidemic(!) caused by Mother Nature running amok(albeit provoked to do so by misguided human intervention).

    3. But it can get too hot for jungle, and the temp change looks like its very radical at the moment. By runaway I mean the planet turning into Venus! :-)

      Anyway either way the developing world is beginning to feel the impacts that have been felt by the developed world for a long time now - and this is real total doom. ''Mitigation'' is the minimum we can expect and this pandemic drama could be all part of mitigation - in the same way masks slow transmission, the efforts at the moment I think are to ''slow'' climate change (a touch - even if the plane grounding created an initial whiplash) as well as creating all the social changes necessary to adjust to food insecurity, etc, as well, as you say, the transmission of diseases that were confined to the developing world to the developed world where no ''herd immunity'' exists to them. Even if they don't care about us the Elite may care about the seafront real estate!

      I agree on the Swamp Thing - I made that reference to it a few posts ago ''Drain that Swamp, Swamp Thing'' in a note about how ridiculous it is to believe in the Q-anonense thing when it is very obvious that ''Outsider'' is the part that Trump plays on TV. But comics are not my area so best to leave that to the Secret Sun methinks!

  9. I have also written elsewhere on this blog some other stuff about this subject of the Hothouse Earth:

    http://hermeticlessons.blogspot.com/2020/09/2020-year-of-lilith-entering-yellow.html?showComment=1601293887918#c5558669847338924914

    What I would like to add here is the fact that any attempt at geoengineering done at the global scale, although it might be absolutely necessary to save humankind and human civilization, also poses the risk of creating the exact typical apocalyptic environment seen in scores of sci fi movies a la "Mad Max" or "Book of Eli". Cutting abruptly the CO2 levels, lowering the global temperature and trapping water in ice form could lead to a planet covered predominantly by huge ice sheets(nearer to the poles) and huge deserts near the equator(Sahara Plus). Something like this could, theoretically, save a part of the human cities from being submerged under water(those placed nearer to the equator) but will utterly destroy the rest that would become crushed by the ice.
    This geoengineering stuff is very, very dangerous if it gets out of control.

    1. Oh I agree entirely, its very dangerous and could all go a bit ''Snowpiercer'' but it may be (I think *is*, at this point) the only choice to avoid hundreds of millions, perhaps billions of deaths from climate change - not to mention the damage to infrastructure, the economy, etc - for those who are more excited about that than human life. We can do carbon capture instead but I think there is not enough time for this. Without CC though CO2 levels will take 300 years to decrease ''naturally'' are we to go carbon neutral tomorrow. So we'd be totally flooded regardless without GE.

      There is more going on to this than meets the eye I think we all agree and I am suggesting plausible ideas that tie in with the overall ''Unifying Colour Theory''. I think the ''food crisis'' will hammer home the message we'll see, maybe I am wrong about that.

      I discussed climate engineering as a plausible conspiracy because a) USAF document ''Owning the Weather: 2025'' b) the very obvious testing and various uses of this tech from 1997 c) the admission from the CIA that they had been testing weather control d) the open discussion of geoengineering as it moved seamlessly from a ''conspiracy theory'' to a UN Panel discussion/committee etc e) the fact that Saudi Arabia and the US are pushing for under-regulated geoengineering so the oil industry can do business as usual for a while longer f) the various other bits of infrastructure necessary for SRM (solar radiation management) and ''green recovery'' i.e. stuff like ''mirrors in space'' nudge, nudge Elon or massively reducing civil aviation - that seem to be slotting into place at the right time.

  10. *God dammit!!!* My home of Québec is officially going back into Lockdown this thursday, the 1st. 🤬🌋

    1. We're about 3 days away here maybe. Probable declaration of National Emergency by Thurs and then partial/total lock-down following week. They've been waiting for the elections to go first (this weekend) and our populist prime minister wants to look like he is resisting lock-downs so he's not outflanked by the far right. He has brought in a military epidemiologist which should go well in terms of communicating with people who identify as right/far right. We'll see.
